Biomass is total BS and not a green renewable fuel. It's the equivalent of ethanol. You grow it to burn it. Its different in that you aren't releasing fossil fuel based carbon to the planet however if you aren't growing it (which requires resources anyways) and you are taking it from existing stock you are releasing stored carbon.
- boringg 5y agoThat said of you are using some biomass to supplement renewable natural gas (IE biogas collected from manure treatment facilities, agricultural facilities, waste water treatment) it helps to augment and make the RNG generation process more robust. In that case it has a use case -- however if you are using solely biomass I don't think it has a lot of environmental merits.
